A regular meeting of the board of ed
ucation was held in the High school
building last evening. Inspectors Schur-
meier, Simmon, GieSen, Ellis, Gilbert,
Athey, Schiffman. Cook, Berlandi, Haas
and Dobner being present. Supt. Tay-
Tor made his first monthly report.
The total enrolment the report
showed was 9,595, the number enrolled,
9,720; the average daily attendance,
$40; the number of suspensions, 10;
the cases of hardness of pupils 766, and
of teachers, 81.
The total enrolment in the classes study
ing German in the schools during Septem-
ber," says the superintendent, was 1850,
an increase OF l65 over the number in the
same branch of study ~ in 1856, during
the same month. The total enroll
ment i'll the public schools of the
city is 1.204 more than that of the core
spending month of 1856. The condition of
the Madison, jefferson and Lincoln schools
renders it impossible to continue school seS-
sionS i'll these buildings unless there should
be very decided and favorable change in the
temperature, until the heating apparatus is
put Ill proper condition. This condition of
dHdlES w III lltSl IliitSTldiiS QlSllirD the pro-
gresS Of the pupils in these schools. The
crowded condition of the Van Buren,, Cor
man and Cleveland schools has made it
necessary to hold half day sessions. Ii seems
advisable that some means for relief of the
Jackson school be at once provided. The
lack of accommodations has made it neceS-
Sary, during the past month, to give half day
sessions to nearly 600 children. This con-
diuon of affairs is q great disadvantage to
the schools, SINCE 1t breaks into the regular
work OF the schools and prevents equal pro-
gress in the different buildings.
,Armit Il Co. were awarded the con-
tract for completing the u. s. Grant
building for S2,470.
